Why wait 90 days? I bought an iPhone from rogers and asked them to unlock it. Think it cost $40 for them to do it.

I don't know why I have to wait. That's their policy. I am not above policy. They said 90 days and $50.

Wow, what a weird philosophy. The policy doesn't make sense and it's your phone. Just go make it happen.

You're preaching to the choir. Here's what it says on their page:

Why do I have to wait 90 days before I can unlock my device?
Your device has been optimized for use on the Rogers network. You may find that some settings or features do not function properly once the device is unlocked and in use with another carrier's SIM card. We want to ensure that you've had the chance to experience the full capabilities of your device on the Rogers network before making the decision to unlock.

I'll call again when I get the phone and try and get them to unlock it.

If you sign a contract, 90 days until you have the right to have your carrier unlock your phone.
If bought outright, you have the right to unlocking your phone immediately. Both scenarios at the rate specified by the service provider, upon request.
